Poinsettia at the foot (literally!) of a statue. Taken yesterday in Sintra, an historic town about 20 miles west of Lisbon.
And yes, it’s raining, raining, raining….
Enjoy the holidays, everyone 🙂

I love Sintra! How are the temps there?

A couple of degrees warmer than Toledo… around 14C… not great, but not freezing. Rain should ease off tomorrow, we hope!

Is everything around you green? I miss the green. Moscow is so grey now…+2C (VERY warm) and no snow!

There’s still quite a bit of green…conifers, palm trees, etc, but the deciduous trees are bare, of course. The rainclouds make everything seem pretty dull and grey, though.

Beautiful Sintra! They do say that you should sprinkle a bit of water on flowers when taking a photo. The weather is obviously trying to give you a hand on the aesthetics front!

It did! And there was me thinking that rain was ruinous where taking pictures was concerned… how wrong can you be!

Sintra was lovely, though I only spent about three hours there, if that. Will post some pics in a few days.
